Today’s card is a combination of favorite elements from many different sets. The newest product is the Garden Meadow Die, which I used to cut the tree pattern from One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Paper. I also used this die to cut Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, which I glued to a Crumb Cake card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Through the garden wall
Prior to gluing the white die-cut, I embossed it with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder, making the garden wall.
Next, I cut the tree, using a Forever Forest Die, from More Dazzle Specialty Paper. The deer was cut, using a Grove Die, from One Horse Open Sleigh DSP, and two layers from Early Espresso Cardstock for thickness. The deer’s scarf was cut with a Reindeer Die from Cherry Cobbler Cardstock, and the snow along the bottom was cut with a Reindeer Die from Basic White Cardstock.
“Merry Christmas” is from the Regal Reindeer Stamp set, stamped in Cherry Cobbler Ink, and cut with the Double Oval Punch.

“Making spirits bright” is a sentiment from the Joy Of Noel Stamp Set, and the one I chose for today’s card. I stamped it in VersaMark on Basic White Cardstock, sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder, and set it with the Heat Tool. Then, I used a Christmas Classics Die for cutting, and placed it on Dimensionals.
Making Spirits Bright
Next, I embossed Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″, with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder. After embossing, I glued it to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Once the layer was glued, I used a Christmas Classics Die to cut Basic White Cardstock, a red pattern of Joy Of Christmas Designer Paper, and Shaded Spruce Cardstock. Then, I glued the white and red die-cuts together, slightly offset, allowing an edge of the red to show. The Shaded Spruce die cut was used with a “paper piecing” technique, filling in the twelve small leaves.
After attaching the sentiment, my card was complete.
I was inspired by The Paper Players.

Today’s card is all about the bears; Polar Bears from Beary Christmas Designer Paper (September-December 2023 Mini Catalog).
I used a Christmas Classics Die, and a Stylish Shapes Die to cut them from the designer paper. After cutting Mama and Baby Bear, I placed them on Dimensionals.
Polar Bears
A second, Christmas Classics Die was used to cut Beary Christmas DSP in a Paw Print. Don’t You love the beautiful edge surrounding the square?
The background is also Beary Christmas Designer Paper, 5 1/4″ X 4″, glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Prior to gluing, I stamped “joy” in VersaMark, sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder, and set it with the Heat Tool.
“Joy” is from the Brightest Glow Stamp Set, perfect for the space, and the emotion the bears were feeling.
For a little sparkle, I added three Tinsel Gems.
I was inspired by TGIF.

For this week’s Global Design Project, we get to CASE (copy and selectively edit) Ann Alexander’s beautiful card.
See how our designers “cased” Ann, then join in the fun, and add your design to our gallery.
I began with a Copper Clay card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This was layered with gorgeous, All About Autumn Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Then, I cut two branches from Early Espresso Cardstock, using an Autumn Leaves Die, and glued them in place.
“I’m thankful”
Next, I cut five leaves from Autumn Leaves Designer Paper, using Autumn Leaves Dies.
“I’m thankful” is from the Autumn Leaves Stamp Set, stamped in Early Espresso Ink on All About Autumn Designer Paper. After stamping, I used an Autumn Leaves Die for cutting, layered it for thickness, and attached it with Dimensionals. Prior to attaching the sentiment label, I glued three leaves to the edge.
To complete the card, I attached two more leaves, and three Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

Winter Meadow Designer Paper is a favorite from the Holiday Catalog. For today’s square card, I used a Christmas Classics Die to cut the watercolored deer from a pattern of Winter Meadow Designer Paper.
A second Christmas Classics Die was used to cut a frame for the deer from a Silver Foil Sheet.
Watercolored Deer
The background is Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 4″, embossed with the Snowflake Sky Embossing Folder. After embossing, I glued the layer to a square, Smoky Slate card base, 8 1/2″ X 4 1/4″, folded at 4 1/4″.
On top of the white layer is a checked strip of Joy Of Christmas Designer Paper, 4″ X 1″. And, cut from the same DSP is a bow, cut with a Country Wreaths Die.
“Merry Christmas” is from the Cottage Wreaths Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.
